A New Brighton woman was charged after police said she assaulted a man during a domestic dispute.

A New Brighton Area police report said police were called at 2:45 a.m. Thursday to the home of Vicki Barr, 55, of 1434 Eighth Ave. for a domestic dispute between Barr and John Hawthorne, no age given. The report said police had been at the residence earlier because of an argument and told the pair to sleep in separate bedrooms for the night.

At some point, Barr went into the room where Hawthorne was sleeping and assaulted and choked him, police said. Hawthorne had red marks on the sides and back of his neck, and the marks were swollen and bleeding, police said.

Barr was charged with simple assault and harassment.
